NBA IS BACK !! AND SO IS MAK

Holy fuck that was a long off season-  It's good to be back fellas.  Been waiting over 3 months to bet an on NBA game.  For those who know me, you know I don't bet on anything else but NBA ball.  So my fellow degens know how hard it was not to gamble at all for 3 months.  So Mak is itchin like a mother fucker to get started.  I didn't cheat on my precious NBA, not even one wager on any other sports.  My bankroll has thanked me, locked and loaded and ready for the season to start.  Gonna try and switch it up a bit this year and wager more intelligently.  As always I will try and post and provide as much knowledge as consistently as I can.  Hopefully we can all work together again for another profitable season.  Happy new year fellas!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gonna post some initial thoughts, my power rankings and some teams to watch out for this season in my opinions.  I will be adding more during the pre-season.  Please add your thoughts fellas, the more info and knowledge we get going into the new betting season the better.  Peace out - - - MAK

My Power Rankings

EAST

1. CLEVELAND
2. BOSTON
3. ORLANDO
4. WASHINGTON
5. TORONTO
6. ATLANTA
7. CHICAGO
8. DETROIT
9. CHARLOTTE
10. PHILADELPHIA
11. MIAMI
12. NEW JERSEY
13. MILWAUKEE
14. NEW YORK
15. INDIANA

(Honestly the East is gonna be crazy this year.  Seeds 1-3 can be switched around easily.  Orlando, Cleveland and Boston will be fighting all season long for that top spot.  From 4-12 is just crazy.  Depending on roster tweeks, injuries, any given team in the east has a chance to compete in their respective conference)

WEST

1. SAN ANTONIO
2. L.A LAKERS
3. DALLAS
4. PORTLAND
5. DENVER
6. UTAH
7. NEW ORLEANS
8. HOUSTON
9. L.A CLIPPERS
10. MEMPHIS
11. PHOENIX
12. OKLAHOMA CITY
13. MINNESOTA
14. GOLDEN STATE
15. SACRAMENTO

(In my opinion Spurs have the best roster in basketball they will finish first, Lake show will clinch 2nd and after that it is a toss up.  I love what Dallas did in the off-season.  I think Portland and Denver are higher tier then Utah and New Orleans.  I think Rick Adelman will somehow get the Yaoless Rockets back into the playoffs.  Don't be surprised if the Clipps are close to a spot)

SLEEPERS

EAST

Washington Wizards - - - If healthy this will be one of the deadliest offensive rosters in the league.  Check this lineup Arenas, Foye, Butler, Antawn & Haywood.  An amazing starting 5 to say the least.  Their bench is also deeper then a pornstar.  With studs like Nick Young, Mike Miller, Blatche, Stevenson, McGee & Oberto this Wizards team is as legit as it gets.  If Flip Saunders is as good as I think he is this team will go far this year.

Toronto Raptors - - - By far the most revamped team in the NBA.  With only Bargnani, Bosh and Calderon remaining from last year this team added 12 new faces.  As you all know Mak loves his Raps and have followed and disected each and every move.  I just don't see how this roster can bust this season.  I just don't see it. This is a team to watch for sure.

WEST

San Antonio Spurs - - - Ok ok I know the Spurs are not sleepers.  But I don't think people understand how good this team is.  I mean wow.  Best off-season aquisitions apart from Orlando.  A healthy Manu, Tony and Timmy combined with additions of Jefferson, McDyess, Ratliff, Blair and Bogans combined with shooters like Mason and Bonner, this team is set for a finals appearance this year.

Memphis Grizzlies - - - No Mak has not started crack, still only weed for me guys...so why am I even mentioning the Griz??? Cause their roster is pretty sick on paper.  Imagine this starting 5.  A.I, Mayo, Gay, Thabeet & Gasol....that is pretty sick.  I doubt they have any chance of making it to the playoffs but Iverson does have something to prove and we all know the comeback Wade had last year, maybe Iverson can step it up and prove he ain't a cancer.

good to see you back mak, i wish the best of luck in this season!!

Thabeet is garbage Mak...Don't let those Grizzlies' names fool you...They are still the Grizzlies...I also think Orlando should be higher than Celtics...Addition of Carter and they made the finals last year...Has to say something...

mac,
nice to see you back.

Any thoughts on today's game?
denver @ utah -4
